When was the last time that you cleaned your artificial flocked Christmas trees? Chances are, these are not something that most people think about. They think that since this is an artificial tree, you just go on your way and set it up year after year. However, that is not always the case. If you have not taken the time to put this up properly, then you are going to find that it will probably need to be cleaned. With this being said, here are a few tips to help you clean this tree before it is being used.
The Fluffy Side of Christmas: How to Clean Flocked Trees
1. Clean the tree outside if you can. If you live in an area that you can use your patio, porch, or even driveway to clean the tree outside, you are going to find that this is better for everyone. You won’t have to worry about the dust and other pollution going throughout the interior of your home.
2. Use a feather duster on the branches of the flocked Christmas trees to help remove any dust that has settled on these tree branches. Be careful not to do this too hard or you could end up removing the flocking aka snow look from the tree branches.
3. You can use a few drops of water on branches if they are stained with something. However, be aware that in doing this you could do some damage to the tree, especially the flocking on the tree. This is why it is so important to make sure that you store these flocked Christmas trees properly.
4. Let the tree air dry and air outside. This will help to remove any dusty or damp smell that the tree has since being in storage. This is why you want to have this outdoors on a bright and sunny day to clean.
